On This Decoration Day














“Let us solemnly remember the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly, on the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores, to preserve our heritage of freedom, and let us re-consecrate ourselves to the task of promoting an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not have been in vain.” —Dwight D. Eisenhower

"...and let us re-consecrate ourselves to the task of promoting an enduring peace...."

Plain, simple words.
Complex, difficult mission.

I love the two pictures, the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns and the Lake sign....

Really, two fine American traditions.
